2019-08-17: Brewers (Lyles) at Nationals (Sánchez) [Brewers win, 15-14 in 14 innings -- WHAT. A. WILD. GAME!]

[wildcat83]

This can't be right.

 

Most combined hits in a MLB game, 33?

We have 38 now.

 

That's the record for most hits by one team.

 

Yea, that Brewers/Blue Jays game in 92 had 40 total hits. Brewers 31 hits and 22 runs. Jays had 9 hits.

Most insane Brewers game I've ever seen.....

We probably need a final role call just so we have proof of who stuck with that one for the past six hours.

 

I didnt post until the 14th, just to make it official.

I worked 2-10 today for a 6 pm start time and still had time to come home and watch the final 2 hours.

[The stache]

This one had 51, which has got to be right up there.

The one mentioned as having 33 saw the two teams combine for a whopping 58 base knocks.

The official scorer was on IV fluid by the end of the game.

WOAH SOLVDD

Well in the immortal words of Monty Python that was something completely different.

[Guest]

That what simultaneously the best and worst game I've ever seen.

 

Wow. Glad I stuck it out.

[jjfanec]

Yelich went 5-6 with 2 home runs and a walk and it felt like just a good game for him. Honestly he is so fun to watch. Also when grisham starts that 1-7 is really impressive

Thames just seems like a great guy........what a great personality he has.

I had no plans to watch tonight...checked my phone at 11-8 and assumed they lost...then got a text during the comeback so I put the radio broadcast on while I was doing some painting. Then still got to watch 5 innings!

Thames has been a straight up hero this year imo. Very very underrated.

Yeah he is such a great fit for this team in so many ways. He is under appreciated in my mind. With the struggles of Aguilar and Shaw he really saved 1b. It is crazy a few people were talking about dfa'ing him

[Harold Hutchison]

Holy smokes...

 

So, did we use up all the Crew's luck, or is it the start of something?

[wildcat83]

Arcia still managed a goose egg, lol.

[jjfanec]

Lost in this too is did Hader get a little mojo back with striking out turner, Eaton and Rendon with the bases loaded and no outs. I know the Nats bailed him out a bit but confidence can still be built with that

[The stache]

The Brewers tied a team record with 7 home runs tonight.

Did anyone pick Thames to be the "biggest surprise" player in the preseason predictions thread? I think he may have earned that award at this point. I'm guessing we will probably pick up his 2020 option which seemed highly unlikely at the start of the year.

It feels like a given now doesn't it? He has really solid numbers, isn't super expensive and we don't have any other good options

This game resembled the fight from Rocky II.

[IIAY]

Watched up until Freddy came in because the wife had scheduled to have friends come over for a fire. Followed the roller coaster on my phone until they left in the 10th so I got to see the last 4+ innings. Hard to remember a crazier game!

Here's my take on this: early in the Turner at bat, Hader through a pitch on the inside corner that was called a ball and you saw Josh take the throw from Grandal and spin away and (probably) curse or something. Kind of like a Pedro Cerrano in Major League telling Joboo to take a hike and he'd do it himself. Next thing you know, the real Josh Hader was back and he was blowing away hitters with the high fastball.

 

I did appreciate that Hader tried using his slider more tonight, almost like Hook and, perhaps, Karsay told him to change things up a little since he's been scuffling lately. This kind of lends a bit of authenticity to my theory of him saying, "Forget you, Joboo, I'll do it myself."

 

(note to fellow posters: I am NOT stating that he really was saying "Forget you, Joboo..." or cursing or anything. But he certainly did appear ticked off at one point before turning it on.)

[Eye Black]

The Brewers had 20 hits, 7 home runs, and scored 15 runs overall tonight and improved their season run differential by one measly run.

[owbc]

Apparently Jack White was at this game...he left after the third inning to play his show, did the show, then came back to the game in extra innings.
